What's different

You don't need more questions. You need a clear picture.

Most prep just adds more questions to the pile. Examinate maps exactly where your child is strong, where they're slipping, and what to work on next — every test, automatically.

  • Every test diagnoses.
    Sub-skill accuracy, timing, and pattern errors broken down by topic.
  • Every next test targets.
    Questions are calibrated to your child's actual gaps. Never the same test twice.
  • Every week, you can see progress.
    A clear picture of what's improving and what still needs work.

“School uniforms are a good idea because they make everyone the same. When everyone wears the same thing, no one feels left out. Also, it saves time in the morning…”

On structure: Try a stronger opening that signals your position immediately — your reader should know what you think by the end of the first sentence.

The writing

Real feedback on the writing — in minutes, not days.

Multiple choice is easy. Writing is where most marks slip — and where most parents have no idea what to do. Examinate marks every writing piece against the actual rubric and explains exactly what to fix, with a sample response to compare against.

  • Marked against the same criteria the real test uses.
  • Plain-English suggestions, not just a score.
  • Sample responses at the next band — so improvement has a target.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Every practice test reveals a weakness map — accuracy by topic, sub-skill, and question type. The next test we recommend targets the specific gaps that test exposed. Over time you see exactly what is improving and what still needs work, in plain language.
Every writing piece is graded against the same criteria the real test uses — argument quality, language, structure, spelling and grammar. You get a band for each criterion, specific suggestions on what to change, and a sample response at the next band so your child has a clear target. Most pieces come back in under two minutes.
You can cancel from your account in two clicks. No 12-week contracts, no calls, no held subscriptions. If you cancel mid-month you keep access until the period ends.
We provide practice tests tailored to NSW (Cambridge/Janison), VIC (ACER HAST), QLD (Edutest / ACER), NAPLAN (Years 3, 5, 7, 9) & Scholarship (Edutest / ACER). Each test format is structured to match the timing, structure, and question types your child will face.
A tutor can be excellent — but you only see what they cover, not what your child has missed. Examinate gives you a weekly picture of your child's strengths and gaps, marks the writing in minutes, and works alongside any tutor or coaching college. Many families use both.
All content is created by a qualified Australian teacher, informed by publicly available government test specifications. We don't reproduce or analyse copyrighted test provider materials. Every question is original.
Each child needs their own account so we can track their individual progress and tailor practice to their specific gaps. We offer a sibling discount on the annual plan.
NSW selective entry targets Year 6 students entering Year 7. The test follows the Cambridge/Janison format and covers reading, mathematical reasoning, thinking skills, and writing.
Victorian Selective Entry tests Year 8 students for Year 9 placement at one of the four selective schools. The test uses the ACER HAST format and covers reading, mathematics, written expression, and quantitative/abstract reasoning.
Queensland covers two main pathways: Queensland Academies for Year 7 (Edutest format) and Brisbane State High for Year 9 (ACER HAST format). Each has its own test structure and timing.
We provide preparation for NAPLAN at Years 3, 5, 7, and 9 across reading, writing, conventions of language, and numeracy.
Most independent and grammar schools run scholarship tests via Edutest or ACER. Format and timing vary by school, but the question styles overlap heavily with selective entry tests.
